| Apple iPad music streamer OMG a dedicated streamer yes! I streamed with iPads, MACs, PC, iPods for that matter… my first dedicated streamer was a Auralic Aries G2… it didn’t last that long before I got my first Aurender. I prefer them. I now own two… see my systems under m... | |
| Vote Your Ranking -If you have an opinion on this digital subject For most of the last 50 years vinyl was the best (not including reel to reel).

| Budget DAC recommendation for Office system As high up the Schiit hierarchy as you can get: Gungnir and Yggdrasil are outstanding for the money. I use a Gungnir in. Y office. | |

| To Buy or to DIY, here is my question In college I wanted speakers that rocked the campus (off). So I researched and found the perfect sized enclosure (like 5’ tall, 3’ deep an 4’ wide… just small enough to fit through a door. 2” x 4’ reinforced. Designed for Voice of the Theater 15” ... | |
